Truck drivers black roads in Brazil after election results

Truck drivers in Brazil loyal to President Jair Bolsonaro have blocked roads across the country, after his election defeat.

Blockages were reported in all but two states, causing considerable disruption and affecting food supply chains.

With all the votes counted, former President Lula da Silva had 50.9% of the valid votes against Mr Bolsonaro’s 49.1% in Sunday’s run-off.

The incumbent far-right president has neither conceded defeat nor challenged the results that divided the nation.
